My soul is lost so lonely and so cold just like a lamb that has strayed from the foldAcross the barren waste of sin I roamOh gentle shepherd hear my cry and lead me homeThe hours go by on frightened wings of flightWhile wolves of hell are waiting for the nightTo claim the soul that wandered from the foldOh gentle shepherd hear my cry and save my soulOh gentle shepherd hear my lonely cry and in Thy cool green pastures let me lieBeside the still clear waters lead Thou meOh gentle shepherd safe forevermore with Thee
